Tinseltown sweep? Clippers game thread

[Porckchop]

The elephant in the room is that we all know there will be nites where Martin and Love just wont have it at the offensive end.. Who the heck can pick up the slack when that happens? Im not talking like there will be nites where they put up doughnuts, cuz those two both will fall into 18-19 pts a nite. But right now the Wolves are reliant on 25-30 a nite from both. Thats just not realistic. Shved needs to go and someone needs to be found that can shoot the ball.. Must be nice having a guy like Crawford coming off the bench.

I agree, Drew. I think it's time to see if we can put together a deal for Evan Turner.

Lip, is this a joke? Why would the sixers give up their leading scorer, 2nd in boards, 2nd in assists, and 2nd in steals, 1st in getting to the line, and 1st in PER, for any of the crap that we have on our bench.

Game we should have won. Glad our guys made it a close game. Just sucks that things went the Clippers way tonight. Generous foul calls and no calls in LA's favor. Crawford's bullshit half-court shot at the end of the 3rd. Pek misses a wide open right hand followed by a tip we've seen Love make billions of times. Such an easy tip that once Love missed, all he could do was smile and say "my bad."

I'm pissed we lost. Not mad at our guys. They fought hard and I knew this would be a tough one even without it being a back-to-back. I just hate losing more than I like winning, especially when my team SHOULD HAVE won. Ugh. Oh well. Need to win the next four games. CLE, DEN, BOS, WAS. Let's get that four game sweep and take on the Clips at home.

one more thing, imho if there was time to play bench with no starter, it was yesterday against Lakers with 25+pt lead, today we went from +5 to -4 with shift in momentum .. i still believe that yesterday we played starters for too many minutes, which might cost us todays game ending

How can you say that when the Wolves actually should have won regardless?

Markkbu - It's a given that the Sixers will trade Turner by the trade deadline. We were identified in one report just the other day as one of two teams interested in Turner. It's just a matter of who among the other NBA teams would want Turner and among those teams what they'd be willing to give up for a player who could be no more than a one-year rental. Do I think it's likely we'd offer enough enough compared to other possible suitors? No. But I just suggested that Flip should put a proposal on the table. What assets do we have to offer? Here's the list: Williams, Shved, Barea, Dieng, Shbazz, multiple Euro stashes, 2016 1st round pick, upcoming 2nd round picks. A deal for Turner isn't as far-fetched as you seem to believe.

More likely options might be Gary Neal, MarShon Brooks, Jordan Crawford and Courtney Lee. Iman Shumpert might be a possibility with the Knicks in a bit of a panic.

Or maybe we should give more minutes to AJ Price.

I hope that you are right Lip.
